Abstract

SIROQUANT is a suite of personal ccmputer programs which runs on an IBM-compatible 386 or 486 personal computer, and gives phase quantification of mineral samples hy Rietveld refinement using the full XRD profile. Eight phases can be quantified in a mineral with the 640 K RAM version and 11 in the EM version.

New features have been added since the original description was written (J.C. Taylor, Powder Diffraction, 6, 2, 1991) including calculations of amorphous percentages using spiked samples, particle size calculations, use of “measured” as well as calculated patterns as standards, pre-programmed refinement “Stages” with different variables in each stage, and improved menus.

Some advanced applications of the system using these new features are described.
